We first crossed paths in our high school bus lot, surrounded by a group of mutual friends. Brandon swears that’s the exact moment he knew “Haley is the one.” Haley, on the other hand, took a little more convincing. After months of persistence, Brandon finally managed to get her on a double date - where she realized maybe he was onto something. But here’s where Brandon’s patience (and Haley’s) was really tested: it took him nine whole months to officially ask Haley to be his girlfriend. Why? Because he insisted on doing things the “proper” way and asking her dad for permission first. Haley, of course, said yes - and got her first glimpse into just how dedicated (and occasionally stubborn) Brandon can be. Fast forward six years, through countless adventures, travels, and challenges, Brandon once again asked her dad for permission - this time, to marry her. Now here we are, all these years later… finally ready to say “I do!”
